Adaptation of Small Mammals to Conditions of Biogeochemical Province with the Increased Level of Heavy Metals

Abstract-At present, the natural non-endemic geochemical anomalies impacts on biota are not studied enough. The purpose of this work was to study effects of the natural geochemical anomaly with high content of nickel, cobalt and chrome on animals. The anomalous environment accounts for low abundance of small mammals, changes in the interior weight characteristics, alterations in the adrenal cortex structure, and reproductive function modifications. Natural anomalies serve as a factor of the additional functional load upon reproductive and endocrine systems

High energy cosmic rays and thunderstorm connected radiations at the Tien Shan complex installation

We present a general description as well as a sample of illustrative experimental results of the Tien Shan high altitude detector complex which is aimed for fundamental and applied investigations in different fields of astroparticle, atmospheric, and environmental physics. The unique natural conditions of the Tien Shan Mountain Scientific Station where this complex resides, the presence of a modern equipment, and the use of multi-messenger integrated approach by detection of various radiation types open a new stage of research in cosmic ray physics and high-energy atmospheric phenomena
